Chinese Spindles

[i2i]

News from my end, i'm having the existing spindles reground to match the 30 taper, when they're back i'll see if they do the job. If so i'm out guys, this will save me a fair bit so i have to try it.

Did you get anywhere with this?

I just spotted that the 6000rpm spindle from the same seller linked to earlier has 5% off and more interestingly someone's actually bought and reviewed it:

EN027# Spindle with synchronous belt for CNC milling BT30 ATC steel ball clamp+ disc spring+drawbar-in Machine Tool Spindle from Industry & Business on Aliexpress.com

'Fast delivery and nice spindle, but not the dimensions shown on the drawing on the listing. Diameter is 80mm above the flange and 85mm below it. It is in fact a SIPU model SPP8030-060-10F But still a BT30 ATC and 6000rpm so I am happy. :) FYI the timing pulley is a 45 tooth HTD5M and is 35mm wide Thanks'

Still too much to spend for me to only get 6000rpm...
